Chapter 482: Striking the grass and startling the snake
Bar 666 was still the same, Tang Jiu was wearing a black vest and white shirt, and he was standing in the bar and wiping his wine glasses unchanged.
Hearing the wind chimes ringing at the door, he didn't raise his head and said, "Welcome, there are only beer and whiskey here, if you want to drink cocktails, you might as well go next door." β
"Uncle Nine, I called and ordered a wine. Kim Min-seok gently closed the door of the bar, reached out and touched the wind chimes on the door, and said with a smile to Tang Jiu.
Tang Jiu raised his eyelids, which had been drooping, glanced at Jin Minshuo and asked, "Do you know the rules?"
"Yes. Sitting down in front of the bar easily, Kim Min-seok knocked on the counter with his fingers: "The reservation fee of 5 million will not be returned." A glass of whiskey. β
The amber liquid is elegantly poured along the walls of the glass, drenching the translucent puck in a dazzling color. Kim Min-seok took a sip and let the liquor flow through his mouth intact, savoring the slight spiciness, and swallowed it with a grunt.
"Ah......h
"It's easy to know the rules. Tang Jiu waited patiently, "Let's talk about it?"
Sighing, Kim Min-seok took out his mobile phone and clicked on two video screenshots that had been prepared a long time ago.
"When I'm older, my eyes aren't very good. Saying this, Tang Jiu took out a pair of reading glasses, squinted his eyes on the bridge of his nose and looked at them seriously.
"This ambulance, I want to know where it is now, who it has handled, and who the owner is......" The whiskey that was not blended was very strong in the end, Kim Min-seok snorted and forcibly suppressed the desire to sneeze.
"42 all 9527?" Finally recognizing the ambulance's barely photographed license plate, the corners of Tang Jiu's mouth pulled up slightly: "There is only one license plate number, it is difficult to check." β
"It doesn't matter, you can pay as much as you want, I just want the result. Kim Min-seok couldn't help but lean forward, showing a little irrepressible urgency.
"Looks like you've been making a lot of money lately. A sharp gaze shot out from above his reading glasses and into Kim Min-suk's eyes. As if he had been stabbed, he subconsciously turned his head to avoid it.
"As you can see, Bestie's album was a big hit, and I was able to get a lot of royalties. Touching his nose, he said, "Besides, isn't it also announced? I'm going to be in charge of the news of Kim Tae-yeon's solo album." β
"The young man has the ambition to soar into the sky, and he is talking about people like you. Pointing at Jin Minshuo, Tang Jiu smiled: "Today's wine, even if Uncle Jiu invites you, I wish you all the best in the entertainment industry." β
After negotiating the relevant matters, Kim Min-seok left the 666 bar, walked out of the store, and integrated into the streets and alleys of Qingliangli.
It seems to be a big grin, but in fact, he is vigilant about the surrounding environment, beware of being followed, until he gets into the subway and is surrounded by all kinds of people, Kim Minshuo breathes a sigh of relief, puts down his heart, and faintly feels that his back is covered with sweat.
"XD, it's too much work. A cuff, an anonymous mobile phone that can be bought at convenience stores all over the street has appeared in the palm of his hand, and Kim Min-seok dialed the number.
"How's it going?" he frowned, carefully raising his hand to his mouth, refusing to reveal the slightest flaw.
"There was a lot of resistance, as soon as the police heard that I was investigating the traffic accident, they immediately became vigilant, and their identity was confirmed many times, and they also questioned why I, an entertainment reporter, followed up on this kind of social news. Naturally, it was Kim Min-suk's old friend Uncle Ramen who spoke: "But, why are you suddenly interested in that traffic accident?"
"If you take my money, you will do the right thing, and it will not do you any good to ask too much. Naturally, there was no need to tremble when talking to him like facing an old fox like Tang Jiu, and every word he said had to weigh the next three sentences. Kim Min-seok pinched his eyebrows, and his voice became more serious: "Don't push it too hard, this matter is not in a hurry, as long as there is a result in the end." If the head-on breakthrough resistance is too great, Uncle Ramen, you try a sideways detour. β
"What a roundabout! Didn't they all tell you that my identity as an entertainment reporter can't be eaten at the police station?"
"Look for the reporter who reported the incident in the first place!" patted his head, Kim Min-seok gritted his teeth. He was surprised, how could a person who usually seemed so shrewd and capable be so inflexible when it came to this issue?
"Those guys definitely have first-hand complete information, but they are not allowed to be reported due to external pressure. Uncle Ramen, you are an old man in the industry, pull three or five people out to eat and drink, exchange some innocuous information with each other during the banquet, and no one remembers who is when the wine wakes up the next day, what's it?" Kim Min-seok said to Ramen.
It's no wonder that Uncle Ramen didn't think of such a time-saving and labor-saving method, but the competition in the Korean press industry is too great, and the antagonism between reporters and reporters is too deep, even if they are good friends who are like brothers, as long as they join different companies, they will naturally divide their positions and oppose each other.
"Got it, I'm going to get in touch. Uncle Ramen seemed to realize something and hung up the phone in a hurry.
Subway Line 4 crosses the Han River from Cheongnyang-ri to Gangnam, and Seongsu finally vacates a seat for Kim Min-suk. He sat down honestly and unceremoniously, changed back to his usual mobile phone, and called Su Ying.
"Kim Min-suk, where have you run again?" the girl was so anxious that she cried, and her voice was so loud that half of the carriage could hear it clearly.
"Ah, be quiet. Feeling the strange gazes of the people around her, Kim Min-seok bowed and nodded apologetically, lowered her voice and reprimanded her, "Aren't I taking the subway back?"
"What about your car ??? the subway? Please, big brother, you are an actor now, do you feel a little conscious of being a star? What if you are recognized?"
Seeing that Su Ying has a posture of going berserk.
"It's not very convenient to drive, so I took the subway. Kim Min-seok touched his nose and subconsciously looked left and right, and there was no suspicious figure. With a little peace of mind, he comforted Su Ying with a smile and said: "Also, what kind of actor, none of the dramas I have filmed have been broadcast, who will know such a little-known person as me?"
"The news of Taeyeon's solo debut is flying all over the world, and as the producer of her album, you are about to be stripped of your pants by the media and fans! Do you still think you are a little person?" So-young hates that iron is not steel, and scolds Kim Min-suk's lazy nature. He never had a clear and clear understanding of his identity.
"Let's be serious, how much did bestie's album buy?" Kim Min-seok suddenly became interested in this matter.
"The sales volume in the first week is more than 3,000," although she is also curious, but Su Ying still reports the data dutifully: "According to the market analysis of the planning department, the final monthly sales can hit about 5,000." β
"That's it?" Kim Min-seok said in disappointment: "Not even 10,000......?
"Big brother, this data is already very rebellious, okay?" Su Ying was teased by his three or two sentences, and the anger that had been suppressed suddenly rose again: "Do you know how many bestie bought on the last album? More than a thousand copies, this is not counting Brother Jing asked the company to secretly repurchase at that time to make up a better number." Last year, all the female artists combined, how many people sold more than 10,000 albums? Do you think everyone is a girl, everyone is IU?"
"Got it, got it. Kim Min-seok hissed and said, "It's me who didn't study well, and I'm to blame you." β
"But," his tone suddenly became a little obscene, and he rolled his eyes and asked, "Su Ying, how much money do you estimate I can make this time?"
"Probably, tens of millions?" Su Ying said uncertainly: "Copyright income has always been a trickle, and the physical market has long shrunk to the point where it is not good, and everyone is barely making a living by relying on online audio sources......
"Good. Having made up his mind, Kim Min-seok slapped his thigh: "So-young, help me count it, and then withdraw all the money-"
"Isn't it? Last time, the representative gave you an advance salary, and now you want to divide it in advance?" Su Ying jumped to her feet and persuaded: "Minshuo, it's easy for people to misunderstand the nepotism between you and the representative by doing this, and blindly being taken care of will only make you ostracized! Also, I don't see where you spend your money, where does all this money go?"
With a gasp, she lowered her voice and asked tremblingly, "Aren't you, gambling?"
"Ahh
"Then your money flow is indeed very mysterious......" Su Ying muttered quietly, barely admitting her mistake.
"I don't know how to gamble or anything, they all say that small gambling is enjoyable and big gambling hurts your body, but in fact, when you stand in front of the table, you have already lost. Kim Min-seok comforted Su Ying's unrealistic conjecture: "My money is indeed used for other purposes, but I can't tell you for the time being." β
"Oh. Slightly disappointed, Su Ying pursed her lips, something that even the closest agent couldn't say......
"But the company really won't necessarily agree to the money, I think it's better to wait for you to come back and tell the representative in person." "Such a big stake, it's not something that an agent who has just straightened her can bear independently, Ma Yu pushed the pot back to Kim Min-suk, and Su Ying hung up the phone.
"This girl. With a smile and a curse, Kim Min-seok leaned his head against the wall of the carriage behind him, looking at the subway advertisement outside the opposite window and flashing.
9527, God's 9527!
As soon as he saw the ambulance's vague license plate number on the video, Kim Min-seok concluded that this was definitely the handiwork of "Wang".
Moreover, this kid is definitely a Chinese, whether it is the mainland or Hong Kong, or most broadly, Chinese, no non-Chinese can play the memes in Stephen Chow's movies so fresh and unconventional.
9527, huh.
Needless to say, this license plate number must be camouflaged, and the ambulance may have been crushed into pieces of iron at some car scrap yard at this moment, and sold to Africa for recycling, and it is difficult to find the slightest clue. Kim Min-seok even suspected that the pitiful evidence in his hand was just that "Wang" deliberately leaked it to himself because of some kind of fun factor.
Otherwise, how can they explain that they would be so naΓ―ve to forget to clean the black box records in Kim Taeyeon's car?
What's more, he didn't know how closely he was being monitored, thinking about the car accident that happened in front of him so "coincidentally" last time, Kim Min-seok shuddered a little.
Even when he woke up in the subway station a few months ago, he could succumb to the "king" in order to recover his identity, and now he has more people he wants to protect, and countless more fetters.
Soon-gyu, Taeyeon, so-young, Crystal, Erin...... Su Ying, Sister Eungui, Sister Hui Qiao, let's get rid of all the men, at most Uncle Jiula......
How can such a self be in prison and find the truth behind the layers of fog?
Going to the 666 bar to find Tang Jiu was just the first step in his plan. Kim Min-seok didn't believe in his dealings with intelligence brokers, and he couldn't make the "king" nervous, even if he was careful not to leave a trace, having such a group of money-driven mosquitoes around him was a very abrasive trouble after all.
Letting Uncle Ramen break through head-on and start with the police station seems reckless, and it is not Kim Min-suk's real purpose.
In order to startle the grass and scare the snake, the sound of the east and west. If the opponent's attention is dazzled by his nonsense, Kim Min-suk's goal will be half the battle.
Mistakes will occur in chaos, and if there are mistakes, there will be traces to follow, and if there are traces to follow, you can follow the vine and find the root system deep in the vine.
Then, hit the nail on the head, cut the grass and eradicate the roots!
A trace of fierceness flashed in Kim Min-suk's eyes, and the color of blood was faintly visible!
Out of Cheongdam-dong Rodeo subway station, not far away is the S building. Kim Min-seok didn't forget to give So-young a glass of iced American.
"If you want to get off the fire, you should drink chrysanthemum tea, what is the iced American! "Su Ying has her own little temper and dislikes authenticity.
"Huh. After all, it was his own fault first, Kim Min-seok touched his nose and smiled embarrassedly, and said beggingly: "So-young, I promise that if there is such a thing in the future, I will definitely report it to you." β
"Anything like this again?" Su Ying slapped the table, full of confidence: "Can't you guarantee that this kind of thing will never happen again?"
In the face of her glare, Kim Min-seok shook his head with difficulty, spread his hands and said, "I also have a hard time......
"Forget it, it's going to rain, so go with you. "Su Ying was a little inexplicably excited: 'Anyway, my agent was also arranged by you, and I can't control you......"
That's right, why did Kim Min-seok insist that Lee Eun-gyu replace Yoo So-young with Luo Yijing? Isn't it because he doesn't want to be restrained by nature? Even if he is an agent who is in charge of everything, he must be controlled by him to a certain extent in order to have a sense of security.
"Mr. Takusa asked you to go to the studio. Su Ying glanced at him, and said complainingly: "Just throw the recording to me and leave, without making a request, how can I tell Teacher Dajiu?"
"Didn't you say that you just need him to get rid of the noise?" Kim Min-seok frowned, and the two walked to Taku-sensei's recording studio on the same floor.
"Hahahaha, this is called music, this is called Tianlai! Yoo Hee-yeol, Yu Yongzhen, you all lost!hahahaha!" Before he could hear Mr. Dajiu's maniac laughter, Kim Min-seok and So-young glanced at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
Gotcha, another crazy one!
